About me
I'm a product designer and founder, with many failures and a few small personal successes too.
You might say I'm a "serial entrepreneur." To be honest though, I'm not a big fan of "serial" anything and the label makes me cringe whenever I read it in a Twitter bio. I mention the S.E. label though, because in producing many bootstrapped & funded products I've filled the role of designer, video producer, front end developer, and minimum viable developer.
Some of my favorite projects and people that I've designed and developed with are 50 Cent, Cookpad, TenTen and my current team at 96 Problems.

SmartHolder
1 July 2015
After being tired of watching videos with my phone falling flat, I designed this small accessory and lazer cut it at Fab Cafe. Friends started asking for it, so I made more and then decided to see if we could crowdfund it.
We did a small pre-launch on a Japan... continue reading (0, 1 image)

First Draft (Mac & iOS app)
31 August 2015
First Draft focuses on making it easy to get your ideas out on paper. It’s like writing by hand or on a typewriter, not a text “editor.” That means no deleting and focusing not on the words or word smithing, but on the bigger idea and getting it out.
First... continue reading (0, 1 image)
